Hello,
You are using the wrong name it should be -lmysqclient, and don't  
forget that if you want to use the static version (it seems so looking  
at the library name you used) you should not have the the dynamic  
libraries in the same directories, they will be picked up by default  
by the linker.
There are two solution for that:
1. Move the static version in another directory and point the linker  
to them (with -L)
2. Make a symbolic link to the library and use the name of that link:  
i.e. ln -s libmysqlclient.a libmysqlclient_s.a and in the pro file: - 
lmysqlclient_s

Hope this helps
Samuel
